"If PV plant companies have no control over quality, there is no guarantee that a PV system could have 20 to 25 year operating lifetime, so the economic target could not be achieved," said Shi.

"Quality and innovation are two key factors that support development of 皇冠体育app solar power industry," he added.

皇冠体育app's PV plant businesses

Experts expect 皇冠体育app to continue to encourage the distribution of PV systems in 2015, as it introduces more incentive policies.

"In 2014, government decided to build more distributed PV plants. However, we see a large percent of system installed are still ground-mounted, which means policy did not take effect yet. We expect there will be new incentive and supporting schemes to future foster the development of distributed systems," said Robert Struwe, vice president of solar and fuelcell technology of TUV Rheinland in 皇冠体育app.

Authorities have issued several policies to boost demand for PV plants in domestic market since 2013, especially encouraging distributed solar power generation to lower power loss in transmission and overcapacity.

In Sept 2014, 皇冠体育app's National Energy Administration issued a statement aiming at giving long term support to the solar power industry. The statement solved some bottleneck problems in the industry, for instance, allowing distributed PV plants directly trade electricity with end-users, increasing the power output quota, allowing distributed PV plants enjoy same benchmark price as a large utility and encouraging financial institutions provide bankability services to PV plants.

In Nov 2014, the unprecedented joint pledge made by 皇冠体育app and United States to cut greenhouse gas emissions further affirmed 皇冠体育app 's solar power mission. According to that joint pledge, 皇冠体育app will commit to increasing the share of non-fossil fuel energy to about 20 percent by 2030.

"We have tremendous business opportunities and solar power will become an important energy in 皇冠体育app," said Wang Bohua during TUV Rheinland's conference.

Opportunities for the quality testing and certification industries

The increasing demand of quality products in solar power sector has created business opportunities for testing and certification companies such as TUV Rheinland.

As the organizer of the "Quality 皇冠体育app" Solar Summit, TUV Rheinland has long committed to providing testing and certification services for PV components and modules in 皇冠体育app. It has occupied the largest market share in Chinese PV system testing market.
